@kathrynwp-Thanks for moving the newer thread and hoping it gets Staff attention soon. I do feel it is such a shame that there isn't consistency across themes when using Gallery types. Users shouldn't have to change themes to get these to work. Just my inflated 2¢ worth.

That gallery looks quite lovely to me! Is there something about it that doesn't look like what you'd expect? As justjennifer said, the reason the gallery isn't taking up the full width of the page is that the Twenty Ten theme displays posts in a two-column layout, with the right column currently containing the search box, Archives, and Meta.

If you want your gallery to take up the full width of the page you could look for a different a theme that displays posts in a full-width layout, instead of a two-column layout.

justjennifer - I've moved the newer post you referenced into the Themes forum. (The older one is already closed because of its age.)

You should use a photo editing program to compress them for the web. There is no reason to upload full sized images for the web when the screen displays only 72dpi and your theme displays only a limited width. Your pages will load faster and you won't waste storage space.

Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:20:35 +0000reaporter1094931@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/If you use the rectangular type of gallery, then the images will be displayed in different sizes. A large photo on the left with two or three smaller photos on the right (or vice versa) is perfectly normal. In your post http://livinginlimericks.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/moments-in-cork/ you can see both arrangements left and right.

As for the large photo at the end of that gallery, try changing its position so a landscape image (a picture that is wider than it is tall) is the last one. It will cause the gallery to rearrange itself, possibly to a more attractive design.

Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:42:06 +0000kathrynwp1094477@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/heids82 - As justjennifer mentioned, could you please provide a link to a gallery where you're seeing problems with your gallery so we can investigate? Thanks very much.

schoolfinder72 - to better troubleshoot with you one-on-one, would you mind please starting a new thread and posting a link to it here? As justjennifer says, links to other threads that you think are related would be appreciated as well - please add them to your new thread so we can take a look. Thanks!

@schoolfinder72- since "The Morning After" is a fixed width theme, I would not have expected this to happen. Please give a direct link to a post or page where you've used the rectangular type of gallery, starting with http:// to make it clickable.

This same complaint is on several threads on the forum.

Links to those threads would be appreciated. :)
